Yes, it’s been ten years since the mighty R1 was let loose upon an unsuspecting world, and Yamaha have released a 10th anniversary special-edition model in celebration. Only 500 units of this bike, which wears Noriyuki Haga’s WSBK livery, will be made. (Incidentally, Yamaha have sold more than a combined total of 500,000 units of the Yamaha R1, R6 and R7 bikes over the last 10 years!)
